targetcli is not functional if /var/target/policy is missing. please include the directory in this ebuild copying https://github.com/Datera/rtslib/tree/master/policy into /var/target/policy works.
I can confirm it and was hitting this bug yesterday. Same issue is reported at https://github.com/Datera/targetcli/issues/7
I would recommend to migrate to sys-block/targetcli-fb and dev-python/rtslib-fb because the legacy branch seems unmaintained in upstream.
Agreed. I did the migration (have to do it on live system without shutting down LIO configuration) and -fb variants seem to work well.
We can treeclean this then
Yes, I think we can close it with the recommendation of using -fb branch. For new users, it would be great to have only -fb available.
